[TYPO3-english] Extbase m:1 relationship

[Mitja]

Hello!

I have one object which has a relationship to another object. Example:

Car has Type. Type is object which has many different properties.

How do I assign a type to a "Car" using only the "Type" id(uid) ?


If I do $car->setType(1),  its ofcourse invalid. I need to init the object first. I would just like to know what is the more efficient way to do this in Extbase?

Many thanks!
